    A friend sent this to me. I couldn't find the actual article but it sounds like vintage Barkley to me:

    This is an excerpt from a news article about a banquet were various athletes received lifetime/career achievement awards. It goes like this...

    The night wouldn't have been complete without a quip from Barkley, who suffered a career-ending injury last month during what was to have been his final game in Philadelphia -- where he started his career with the Sixers.

    After boxer Michael Grant announced that he's fighting Lennox Lewis on April 29 in New York, Barkley said, "I'm here to announce that on the undercard, I'm going to beat the hell out of Scottie Pippen. I'll fight him for free."
